4.When I began planning to move to Auckland to study,my mother was a little worried about the uncertainty of living in a place that was so different from India,where we lived.She worried particularly about the lack of jobs,the cultural differences and the chance that I would face racism(種族偏見).
Despite these worries,I came to New Zealand in July 2009.I have found the place and people very nice and supportive.Soon after I arrived,I realized the importance of getting a job for my living expenses.
Determined to do this on my own,I spent a whole day going door to door asking for a job.However,I received little response.This became my routine every day after college for a few weeks.
One afternoon,I walked into a building to ask whether there were any job opportunities.People there were very surprised,and advised me not to continue my job search in that manner.As I was about to leave,a clerk in the building,who had been listening to what the others had said,approached me and asked me to wait outside for a while.Fifteen minutes later,he returned.He asked me about my plans and encouraged me to stay confident.Then he offered to take me to Royal Oak to search for a job.
I was a little surprised but had a good feeling about him.He gave me some suggestions on dressing and speaking.I handed out my resumes and went home feeling very satisfied.The following day,I received a call from a store in Royal Oak offering me a job.
It seems that the world always gives back to you when you need it.And this time,it was a complete stranger who turned out to be a real blessing.
